7 Aim of the work Compact Optical Attitude Transfer System COATS. ESA Contract /11/NL/CP. Realization of a device to measure attitude and spatial co-ordinates of a body with respect to a principal co-ordinate system The device must be compact and lightweight and able to work at relatively large distances Wavemill metrology system requirements Parameter Accuracy Range Rate Comment Longitudinal displacement 7 m 5 cm 0.1 Hz Baseline: m Lateral displacement (pitch) 5 m ±1 6m 0.1 Hz Baseline: m Most critical parameter Lateral displacement (yaw) 5 m ±1 6m 0.1 Hz Baseline: m 7
8 Conceptual Design 8
9 2D angular measurement A laser beam is reflected by a plane mirror in front of the passive target. A 2D Position Sensitive Detector placed in the focal plane of the lens measures the angle of the incoming beam. 9
10 2D lateral measurement X 2d x F A laser beam is laterally shifted by the displacement of the retro reflector. The shift is measured by a 2D Position Sensitive Detector placed out of the focal plane of the lens. 10

32 Interferometer test set-up Retro reflector on a 28 m long rail Corner-cube positioned at 0m, 5m, 10 m, 15 m, 20 m, 25 m on the rail, the distance of the IR interferometer with synthetic frequency 20 GHz is compared with the reference displacement measured with our calibrated interferometer. The displacement are compared after the correction of the index of refraction of air
